Just under two weeks after the release of the first beta of OS X 10.10.4, Apple has released OS X 10.10.4 Beta 2 to developers.
The latest OS X beta build comes with the build number 14E11f and the update is available from Apple’s Mac app store and through Apple’s Developer Center.
OS X 10.10.3: A Major Update
OS X 10.10.3 was a significant update for Apple’s OS X, introducing the company’s new Photos app. This app allows users to back up all of their photos to the cloud seamlessly. The Photos app replaced both iPhoto and Aperture, providing a more streamlined and efficient way to manage photo libraries. The app integrates with iCloud Photo Library, ensuring that all your photos and videos are stored safely and can be accessed from any Apple device. This update also included a variety of new emojis, improved stability, and performance enhancements.
What to Expect in OS X 10.10.4 Beta 2
As yet, there are no specific details on what is included in the latest OS X beta. However, it is expected that OS X 10.10.4 Beta 2 will focus on bug fixes and performance improvements rather than introducing new features. Apple typically uses these incremental updates to refine the user experience and address any issues that have been reported by users and developers.
One area that might see improvements is the networking stack. Previous versions of OS X Yosemite had some issues with Wi-Fi connectivity and stability, which Apple has been working to resolve. Developers will be keen to see if these issues have been addressed in the latest beta.
Another potential area of focus could be the integration with other Apple services and devices. With the increasing interconnectedness of Apple’s ecosystem, ensuring smooth operation between Macs, iPhones, iPads, and Apple Watches is crucial. Developers will be testing to see if there are any enhancements in this area.
As soon as we get more details on the new features or improvements included in OS X 10.10.4 Beta 2, we will let you guys know. In the meantime, developers are encouraged to download the update and provide feedback to Apple to help improve the final release.
How to Get the Update
For those who are registered developers, the update is available from Apple’s Mac App Store and through Apple’s Developer Center.
